The role of the Summer Staffer…

Every summer, thousands of teenagers flock to the North Carolina Baptist Assembly at Fort Caswell, a conference and retreat center located 30 miles south of Wilmington. The teens come to Caswell (as the place is affectionately called), where they discover God or a renewed relationship with Him, new friends and creation's beauty.

Before the campers arrive, Caswell becomes a training ground for both community and ministry for the college students who come to work and live here for the ten week summer season.

The North Carolina Baptist Assembly has a variety of summer ministry opportunities in several work areas. Spending a summer at Caswell is life on the beach, but it’s also engaging in true Christian servanthood and experiencing the joys and challenges of living as a community with more than 70 other staff members.

For over 50 years, students have come to Fort Caswell to work and give of themselves for a summer of missions. 74 young men and women live with one another in close-quarters and serve nearly 10,000 guests in a variety of demanding work areas. However, the staff comes away with an experience that they will never forget.

Please note that Applications for Summer Staff 2012 will be taken until January 16th, 2012.
